Fast bowler was linked with a move to the Cobras Steyn to stay on with Titans April 28, 2008
Dale Steyn, South Africa's pace spearhead, has said that he will continue to represent his domestic team, the Titans, after he was linked to a move to the Cape Cobras. There was speculation that Steyn was planning on leaving the Titans, since he had decided to move out of Centurion, where the franchise is based. His national coach, Mickey Arthur, had also said that he was "definitely moving." "I think some messages got a bit mixed up," Steyn told the Star, a Gauteng-based daily."I am moving down to Cape Town, which is where my girlfriend lives. "I couldn't really do anything while I was in the subcontinent, but when I got back from Bangladesh and India, I was able to sit down with the Titans management, and we agreed that I would continue to play for them." The Titans' chief executive, Elise Lombard, expressed satisfaction over retaining the services of Steyn. "We are very happy our boy from Phalaborwa is going to continue to play for us when he is not on national duty. He came through the system, and we don't like to bring the players through only to lose them to another franchise. "We don't mind where Dale lives, as long as he plays for the Titans when he is available." Steyn also said that travelling to join his team-mates would not be an issue. "It might have been more convenient to play for the Cobras, but it is also easy to get back to Pretoria to join the rest of the team." Incidentally, Steyn had played against the Cobras in the semi-finals of the Pro20 tournament in South Africa, before taking 1 for 16 in the Titans' title triumph against the Dolphins on April 25. © Cricinfo
